Character: Small and charming, with two buildings: a 19th-century villa with high frescoed ceilings and marble floors, and the former greenhouse of Villa San Michele, now converted into elegant guest rooms.
Location: In the town of Fiesole, on a hillside overlooking Florence. This is a great place if you don't want to be in the country or in the city, because you can take a city bus right down the hill into the historic center in 20 minutes (it stops very near the hotel), but in the afternoon you can relax in the quiet shade of the pine trees and enjoy the view.

Small swimming pool. Price includes breakfast.
Price range: From 100. EURO/night. To see specific prices for the dates
